Topostyle

This map shows data that has been styled in QGIS to resemble the 1:50 000 topographical map sheets that are produced by the South African Chief Directorate of National Geo-Spatial Information(NGI). NGI provides raster formats for the 1:50 000 topographic map series. The data is acquired from NGI through digitizing from high-resolution aerial photography.

CapeTownMarathon

This map depicts the route for the marathon that it done annually in Cape Town. The marathon is sponsored by Sanlam, the City of Cape Town and Vital Health Foods. All the routes depicted in the map are stored in a PostgreSQL database and styled in QGIS. The routes digitized in QGIS and then approved by the relevant authorities.

Swellendam

This map shows how you can use QGIS to publish your own custom maps based on OpenStreetMap data. The roads and building data was downloaded using our OSM Reporter tool which provides ready to use .qml styles along with the extracted data. Additional context data is provided using data from the South African Chief Directorate of National Geo-Spatial Information.

Boosmansbos

This is a hiking trail map for Boosmansbos Wilderness Area, near Heidelberg in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The track shown is the recorded track from a Kartoza teambuilding hike we carried out in August, 2014.
The digital elevation model was created by extracting nodes from the national 1:50 000 countour lines and then using the QGIS interpolation tool to create a DEM - which was subsequently converted to a hillshade model.
